Comment: The cottage was lovely, cosy and had everything we needed. The location was perfect. We took many of the walk routes from Hawkshead direct from the cottage so no need to use the car - which was great - a pleasant walk into the vilage. Would definitely like to return to the area and the cottage. Spectacular area for walking.

Comment: we booked barn end to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary hoping to have awonderful relaxing week, to our delight thats what we had, wonderful views and spectacular walks, we enjoyed the walks around coniston in particular the waterfalls and mines. our only regrete is that we only had a week. it was useful having the milkman deliver so many goods but the walk to hawkshead via the fields was peacefull and relaxing thank you
Name: S CULLIMORE - 8-Oct-2010
Comment: Lovely little cosy cottage. Very warm & welcoming, we felt right at home straight away. Loved the Chinese-style screen separating bedroom & bathroom, and the woodburner. The dog loved the fire too! Clean & comfy, this retreat for 2 had everything you needed. The cooker took some working out, and we eventually gave up & called for assitance, which arrived within half an hour. Excellent service! We walked every day straight out the door, calling at Hawkshead on the way home for a well-earned pint & a bit of people watching. Plenty of pubs to choose from in Hawkshead. Queens Head very nice but a bit pricey, Kings Arms more down to earth. Best walks from the door to Tarn Hows & on to Coniston Water through Monk Coniston; Latterbarrow for a fab view for very little effort; and a nice level walk past Blelham Tarn to Wray Castle on Windermere & back. Thanks Hideaways - we have every intention of returning. We are looking forward to it!
